This is a long shot question. Reference the FT-270 & VX-170. Question: Since these two radio's are very similar, I'm wondering if the 170/270 software are compatible with each other. Anyone tried this? Thanks, -J |

I owned both but never used the programming software. It depends on how they designed their software, but I would think it would work for either. Too bad the radios are not the same. I loved the VX-170 and regret selling it. I bought the 270 thinking it would be "better" and boy was that a mistake. No more Yaesu products for me. :evil: |

I like the 170, needs a new battery (3-4 years old). I found a 2500mAh. Needs a high gain ant. Might as well get the software while I'm at it. Sure makes it easier. |

This decision was made for me. My VX-170 is in the Moyie River about seven miles south of Canada. |

My Pro-106 is on the south side of Loma Prieta peak in San Jose :P This involved a capsized canoe, and the loss of a Canon sx230 too. I think I'll go with the 270, it does split tones. I lost a cell phone in Utah while dirt-biking. So if you find one.... |
